When a team makes a head coach change, it can sometimes cause a jolt within the team. New energy can make you feel like you're watching a completely different team. This energy is often, but not always, temporary.
The New Orleans Saints replaced Dennis Allen midway through the season and named Darren Rizzi as interim coach. Since then, the Saints have won their last two contests.
The temporary nature of these shocks is not lost on Rizzi, and it is his responsibility to ensure that the dynamic is not temporary. For him, keeping the energy constant is a focus. about “all the reasons why we did well in the last two games.” Stay consistent with it and hope that the results will be the same.
As far as energy loss goes, Rizzi doesn't see a problem this week. The energy and enthusiasm in the locker room remains high. Rizzi felt the team completed one of its best practices on Tuesday. It just needs to be translated and get results on Sunday.
